Interested in screen but intimidated by the process? In this workshop, you'll receive an intensive introduction to emulsion-based silkscreen and demystify the practice so you can do it at home. Learn what you need to know about the basic set-up and supplies, coating and exposing screens, as well as pulling a basic one-layer print. All supplies, including screens to use in class are provided. Students can bring their own drawings ready to expose, or use provided templates to just get the hang of the process. Drawings should not have an image size bigger than 7" x 10" and should be black and white only, no tones or shadows. Perfect for beginners or printmakers who need a refresher. Suitable for older teens and adults.

MAKE IT SMALL WITH INPRINT!
Join us for a magical weekend of making art in miniature! We'll make three projects together, perfect as handmade gifts to your loved ones, or even just to add to your own collection of art. This weekend will focus on three techniques including cyanotype, bookbinding and drypoint printmaking. Learn how to set up a portable cyanotype station to keep making blueprints all year long; make a miniature hardcover book that you can keep as an ornament or necklace or for your tiniest of libraries; learn to use the famous 3D-printed Open Press etching presses that fit in the palm of your hand and engrave a tiny little drypoint using upcycled tetrapak as the plate. All materials are included with class fee.
